‘Crazy Rich Asians’ becomes highest-grossing rom-com in a decade

The wildly popular movie, based on Kevin Kwan’s novel of the same name, passed $165.7 million at the box office this weekend, making it the highest-grossing romantic comedy in the United States in a decade, passing the 2009 “The Proposal.”

The Henry Golding-led flick launched a summer of rom-coms, including Netflix’s “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” and “Set It Up.”

Among its accolades, “Crazy Rich Asians” also broke the record for best Labor Day weekend box office in 11 years and became the highest-grossing live-action comedy since “Girls Trip” last year.
